# 2024 World Indoor Bowls Championship

The 2024 World Indoor Bowls Championship was the 2024 edition of the World Indoor Bowls Championship, held at Potters Leisure Resort, Hopton-on-Sea, Great Yarmouth, England, from 5-21 January 2024. The event is organised by the World Bowls Tour and will be televised by the BBC and YouTube. The event is being sponsored for the second consecutive year by Imagine Cruising.
Jamie Walker and Katherine Rednall were the men's and women's defending champions respectively.
In an all-Scottish final, two-time champion and number 4 seed Stewart Anderson beat the six-time champion Alex Marshall MBE. Marshall received a wild card to compete and was unseeded because his form had dropped over the last few years but produced outstanding performances to reach the final, including a faultless semi-final win over friend and rival Paul Foster MBE. Anderson defeated another wild card and debutant Harry Goodwin in the other semi-final before sealing the win over Marshall in the final.
Katherine Rednall started her year in fine form, winning her sixth singles title at the championships, defeating Julie Forrest in a close final. Forrest was always in control in the first set before Rednall dominated the second to force a tie break. Rednall's win was largely due to her choosing short lengths (23 metres) throughout the second set and tie break ends.
In another all-Scottish final Stewart Anderson and Darren Burnett won the open pairs for the third time defeating Paul Foster and Jason Banks. Nick Brett and Julie Forrest, bowling together for the first time in this event, won the mixed pairs for their third and second mixed titles respectively.
Darren Weir completed a Scottish dominated championships with a comprehensive victory over Rebecca Moorbey in the Under-25 event.
